@DarkWolf Would an axis also work as the answer to this one?

DarkWolf OP March 4th, 2016

@ladylazarus1971

An axis doesn't necessarily turn things around, although there are opposites on both sides of the axis. It could be argued that an axis is correct too, it's a bit more far-fetched than the original answer though.

With one you can't count past six,
nor can the gap between v and x be fixed.
You can read all of these lines,
but can't say what solves me.

What am I?

I will give a hint. Try to do the following.. count from 1-6 out loud and then say 7. Also say v and x out loud, and then w. Is there a difference you notice between the words? Why can't you make 7 or w with 'one'?

(p.s. I don't know if this will work in any other language than English)
